kernel/time/Makefile
On some architectures, in certain CPU deep idle states the local timers stop.
An external clock device is used to wakeup these CPUs. The kernel support for the
wakeup of these CPUs is provided by the tick broadcast framework by using the
external clock device as the wakeup source.
However not all implementations of architectures provide such an external
clock device. This patch includes support in the broadcast framework to handle
the wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle states on such systems by queuing a hrtimer
on one of the CPUs, which is meant to handle the wakeup of CPUs in deep idle states.
This patchset introduces a pseudo clock device which can be registered by the
archs as tick_broadcast_device in the absence of a real external clock
device. Once registered, the broadcast framework will work as is for these
architectures as long as the archs take care of the BROADCAST_ENTER
notification failing for one of the CPUs. This CPU is made the stand by CPU to
handle wakeup of the CPUs in deep idle and it *must not enter deep idle states*.
The CPU with the earliest wakeup is chosen to be this CPU. Hence this way the
stand by CPU dynamically moves around and so does the hrtimer which is queued
to trigger at the next earliest wakeup time. This is consistent with the case where
an external clock device is present. The smp affinity of this clock device is
set to the CPU with the earliest wakeup. This patchset handles the hotplug of
the stand by CPU as well by moving the hrtimer on to the CPU handling the CPU_DEAD
notification.

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's

The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through
posix_timer_fn(). The alarm timers follow a different path, so they

commit 265b81d23a upstream.
Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.
The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.
Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

commit c9b5a266b1 upstream.
In periodic mode we remove offline cpus from the broadcast propagation
mask. In oneshot mode we fail to do so. This was not a problem so far,
but the recent changes to the broadcast propagation introduced a
constellation which can result in a NULL pointer dereference.
What happens is:
CPU0 CPU1
idle()
arch_idle()
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(OFF);
set cpu1 in tick_broadcast_force_mask
if (cpu_offline())
arch_cpu_dead()
cpu_dead_cleanup(cpu1)
cpu1 tickdevice pointer = NULL
broadcast interrupt
dereference cpu1 tickdevice pointer -> OOPS
We dereference the pointer because cpu1 is still set in
tick_broadcast_force_mask and tick_do_broadcast() expects a valid
cpumask and therefor lacks any further checks.
Remove the cpu from the tick_broadcast_force_mask before we set the
tick device pointer to NULL. Also add a sanity check to the oneshot
broadcast function, so we can detect such issues w/o crashing the
machine.

commit dd5fd9b91a upstream.
AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine
trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU.
The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the
cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up
CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related
CPU1 bringup looks like this:
clockevent_register_device(local_apic);
tick_setup(local_apic);
...
idle()
tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE);
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
halt();
Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the
broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues:
local_apic_timer_interrupt()
tick_handle_periodic();
softirq()
tick_init_highres();
cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask);
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER)
WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask);
So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch
over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then
triggers the warning when we go back to idle.
The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is
that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via
acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the
remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is
already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the
oneshot mask.
The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask
bit when we switch over to highres mode.
Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the
C1E workaround and debugging the fallout. I picked mine, because mine
has a changelog :)

commit 6fdda9a9c5 upstream.
As part of normal operaions, the hrtimer subsystem frequently calls
into the timekeeping code, creating a locking order of
hrtimer locks -> timekeeping locks
clock_was_set_delayed() was suppoed to allow us to avoid deadlocks
between the timekeeping the hrtimer subsystem, so that we could
notify the hrtimer subsytem the time had changed while holding
the timekeeping locks. This was done by scheduling delayed work
that would run later once we were out of the timekeeing code.
But unfortunately the lock chains are complex enoguh that in
scheduling delayed work, we end up eventually trying to grab
an hrtimer lock.
Sasha Levin noticed this in testing when the new seqlock lockdep

So the best solution is to avoid calling clock_was_set_delayed() while
holding the timekeeping lock, and instead using a flag variable to
decide if we should call clock_was_set() once we've released the locks.
This works for the case here, where the do_adjtimex() was the deadlock
trigger point. Unfortuantely, in update_wall_time() we still hold
the jiffies lock, which would deadlock with the ipi triggered by
clock_was_set(), preventing us from calling it even after we drop the
timekeeping lock. So instead call clock_was_set_delayed() at that point.

In the timekeeping suspend path, we udpate the timekeeper

In most cases, the next time related code to run would be
timekeeping_resume, which does update the shadow-timekeeper, but
in an abundence of caution, this patch adds the call to

commit 4be77398ac upstream.
Since commit 1e75fa8be9 (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime
into xtime_sec - merged in v3.6), there has been an problem
with the error accounting in the timekeeping code, such that
when truncating to nanoseconds, we round up to the next nsec,
but the balancing adjustment to the ntp_error value was dropped.
This causes 1ns per tick drift forward of the clock.
In 3.7, this logic was isolated to only GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
architectures (s390, ia64, powerpc).
The fix is simply to balance the accounting and to subtract the
added nanosecond from ntp_error. This allows the internal long-term
clock steering to keep the clock accurate.
While this fix removes the regression added in 1e75fa8be9, the
ideal solution is to move away from GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
and use the new VSYSCALL method, which avoids entirely the
nanosecond granular rounding, and the resulting short-term clock
adjustment oscillation needed to keep long term accurate time.
[ jstultz: Many thanks to Martin for his efforts identifying this
subtle bug, and providing the fix. ]

commit a97ad0c4b4 upstream.
The current code requires that the scheduled update of the RTC happens
in the closest tick to the half of the second. This seems to be
difficult to achieve reliably. The scheduled work may be missing the
target time by a tick or two and be constantly rescheduled every second.
Relax the limit to 10 ticks. As a typical RTC drifts in the 11-minute
update interval by several milliseconds, this shouldn't affect the
overall accuracy of the RTC much.

commit 70e5975d3a upstream.
On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy
clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy
clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but
we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents
before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the
rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating
of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot
hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs
besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick
device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy
devices.
If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is
global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should
choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of
the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take
the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick
device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into
broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

Fedora Ruby maintainer reported latest Ruby doesn't work on Fedora Rawhide
on ARM. (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9008)
Because of, commit 1c6b39ad3f (alarmtimers: Return -ENOTSUPP if no
RTC device is present) intruduced to return ENOTSUPP when
clock_get{time,res} can't find a RTC device. However this is incorrect.
First, ENOTSUPP isn't exported to userland (ENOTSUP or EOPNOTSUP are the
closest userland equivlents).
Second, Posix and Linux man pages agree that clock_gettime and
clock_getres should return EINVAL if clk_id argument is invalid.
While the arugment that the clockid is valid, but just not supported
on this hardware could be made, this is just a technicality that
doesn't help userspace applicaitons, and only complicates error
handling.
Thus, this patch changes the code to use EINVAL.

commit 97b9410643 upstream.
Marc Kleine-Budde pointed out, that commit 77cc982 "clocksource: use
clockevents_config_and_register() where possible" caused a regression
for some of the converted subarchs.
The reason is, that the clockevents core code converts the minimal
hardware tick delta to a nanosecond value for core internal
usage. This conversion is affected by integer math rounding loss, so
the backwards conversion to hardware ticks will likely result in a
value which is less than the configured hardware limitation. The
affected subarchs used their own workaround (SIGH!) which got lost in
the conversion.
The solution for the issue at hand is simple: adding evt->mult - 1 to
the shifted value before the integer divison in the core conversion
function takes care of it. But this only works for the case where for
the scaled math mult/shift pair "mult <= 1 << shift" is true. For the
case where "mult > 1 << shift" we can apply the rounding add only for
the minimum delta value to make sure that the backward conversion is
not less than the given hardware limit. For the upper bound we need to
omit the rounding add, because the backwards conversion is always
larger than the original latch value. That would violate the upper
bound of the hardware device.
Though looking closer at the details of that function reveals another
bogosity: The upper bounds check is broken as well. Checking for a
resulting "clc" value greater than KTIME_MAX after the conversion is
pointless. The conversion does:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) / evt->mult;
So there is no sanity check for (latch << evt->shift) exceeding the
64bit boundary. The latch argument is "unsigned long", so on a 64bit
arch the handed in argument could easily lead to an unnoticed shift
overflow. With the above rounding fix applied the calculation before
the divison is:
u64 clc = (latch << evt->shift) + evt->mult - 1;
So we need to make sure, that neither the shift nor the rounding add
is overflowing the u64 boundary.
[ukl: move assignment to rnd after eventually changing mult, fix build
issue and correct comment with the right math]

commit 7bd3601446 upstream.
Gerlando Falauto reported that when HRTICK is enabled, it is
possible to trigger system deadlocks. These were hard to
reproduce, as HRTICK has been broken in the past, but seemed
to be connected to the timekeeping_seq lock.
Since seqlock/seqcount's aren't supported w/ lockdep, I added
some extra spinlock based locking and triggered the following
lockdep output:
[ 15.849182] ntpd/4062 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 15.849765] (&(&pool->lock)->rlock){..-...}, at: [<ffffffff810aa9b5>] __queue_work+0x145/0x480
[ 15.850051]

[ 15.850051] lock(&(&pool->lock)->rlock);
[ 15.850051]
[ 15.850051] *** DEADLOCK ***
The deadlock was introduced by 06c017fdd4 ("timekeeping:
Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps") in 3.10
This patch avoids this deadlock, by moving the call to
schedule_delayed_work() outside of the timekeeper lock
critical section.

commit 1f73a9806b upstream.
When the system switches from periodic to oneshot mode, the broadcast
logic causes a possibility that a CPU which has not yet switched to
oneshot mode puts its own clock event device into oneshot mode without
updating the state and the timer handler.
CPU0 CPU1
per cpu tickdev is in periodic mode
and switched to broadcast
Switch to oneshot mode
tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
cpumask_copy(tick_oneshot_broacast_mask,
tick_broadcast_mask);
broadcast device mode = oneshot
Timer interrupt
irq_enter()
tick_check_oneshot_broadcast()
dev->set_mode(ONESHOT);
tick_handle_periodic()
if (dev->mode == ONESHOT)
dev->next_event += period;
FAIL.
We fail, because dev->next_event contains KTIME_MAX, if the device was
in periodic mode before the uncontrolled switch to oneshot happened.
We must copy the broadcast bits over to the oneshot mask, because
otherwise a CPU which relies on the broadcast would not been woken up
anymore after the broadcast device switched to oneshot mode.
So we need to verify in tick_check_oneshot_broadcast() whether the CPU
has already switched to oneshot mode. If not, leave the device
untouched and let the CPU switch controlled into oneshot mode.
This is a long standing bug, which was never noticed, because the main
user of the broadcast x86 cannot run into that scenario, AFAICT. The
nonarchitected timer mess of ARM creates a gazillion of differently
broken abominations which trigger the shortcomings of that broadcast
code, which better had never been necessary in the first place.
